It doesn't matter how much money you have. Sometimes you really put your foot in your mouth.

Unfortunately, when you're one of the nation's leading executives, the entire world knows about your insensitive remarks. Case in point is Canadian businessman Kevin O'Leary saying earlier this week that global poverty is "fantastic" news, which resulted in a media frenzy. But O'Leary isn't the only one who's received backlash for offensive statements. Below are examples of equally ridiculous statements made recently by our richest executives.

1. Airline Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary calls his customer "stupid."

In 2012, a British family was charged a total of $380 (or €60 euros per person) at the airline gates because they forgot to print out their five boarding passes beforehand.

Sure, that's a lot of money, but Irish carrier Ryanair is upfront about significantly fining customers who fail to provide printed tickets.

"We think Mrs McLeod should pay 60 euros for being so stupid," he said. "She wasn't able to print her boarding card because, as you know, there are no internet cafes in Alicante, no hotels where they could print them out for you, and you couldn't get to a fax machine so some friend at home can print them and fax them to you… She wrote to me last week asking for compensation and a gesture of goodwill. To which we have replied, politely but firmly, thank you Mrs McLeod but it was your ****-up."

2. AIG CEO Robert Benmosche says the public's anger over huge bonuses is "just as bad" as lynching.

When asked to respond to the public's outrage over AIG's bonuses, Benmosche told the Wall Street Journal that the public's anger was just as bad as when white supremacists used to lynch African- Americans.

"[The uproar over bonuses] was intended to stir public anger, to get everybody out there with their pitchforks and their hangman nooses, and all that — sort of like what we did in the Deep South [decades ago]. And I think it was just as bad and just as wrong."

During the debacle surrounding Lululemon's see-through yoga pants, Wilson decided he would blame women's bodies for the sheerness.

"They don't work for some women's bodies ... it's really about the rubbing through the thighs, how much pressure is there over a period of time, how much they use it," Wilson said in a Bloomberg interview.
